Thread: Is there a better way to fold sheets?

Nothing wrong with fitted sheet, although I would prefer a straight sheet, I do however do a hospital corner on the top sheet I am contemplating making up a template so as I can get an exact 45 deg angle on the fold, I use to be able to bounce a coin off the bed but Mrs Phil decided that we needed a feather under dooner and a feather top doona I couldn't give up the top sheet, I need to feel tucked in of a night (wouldn't want teddy to fall out he sleeps on the edge of the bed beside me Mrs Phil sleeps on the other side).

This thread is useless without pictures!

In fact, maybe we should have a competition! Like the shed comp in AWR! I'll throw in a set of used sheets as a prize. I'll even wash them first - although they'll have to be bundled up to fit in a post bag, not folded.

EEWW!!

I have just found out that my five year old Grandson likes making the beds (must run in the blood) he gets realy up set when his elder brother won't get out of bed so he can make it.

What would be the right age to introduce him to the dark art of folding sheets?

About the same age as you teach him to cook.
